Zach Arnold from PuroresuPower.com reports that Kazushi Sakuraba returned to Japan from his training at the Chute Boxe Academy in Curitiba, Brazil. Sakuraba said that he gained new techniques during training.

He noted that he trained three times a day in timed blocks on Muay Thai, boxing, jiu-jitsu, weight training, and swimming. Sakuraba said that if he had the chance to go back to train in Brazil again, he would do so.

He issued a “no comment” to reporters regarding rumors of him working the 10/23 Saitama Super Arena “STARTING OVER” show. MMAWeekly.com reported a month ago that Ken Shamrock could be a possible opponent, but no comment from Shamrock’s camp.
